Videos tagged with Incendiary Effects

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the lethality and accuracy of flare guns. The host demonstrates loading and firing an Orion 12-gauge flare gun at various targets, including a plastic skull and watermelons. Key takeaways highlight the extreme inaccuracy of flares, with deviations of up to two feet from the point of aim, making them unreliable for precise targeting despite their significant impact and incendiary potential. The host emphasizes safety and the unpredictable nature of these projectiles.

This video features an expert analysis of 7.62x54R Armor Piercing Incendiary (API) ammunition's performance against a USGI SAPI armor plate. The instructor, demonstrating deep knowledge of ballistics and historical ammunition, explains the dual nature of API rounds and their effectiveness. The test reveals that while the SAPI plate successfully stopped the API round, the projectile's incendiary and explosive components caused significant internal damage, including melting and a contained explosion within the plate's structure. The expert concludes that even older SAPI plates offer substantial protection, though the impact would be severe.

This video from 1ShotTV explores the potential of a flare gun for self-defense, a concept often seen in media. The host, an experienced reviewer, conducts experimental tests using a Orion Alerter Basic flare gun and 12-gauge aerial flares against various targets including paper, watermelon, clothing, ballistics gel, and water jugs. The tests reveal flares are dangerous incendiaries capable of igniting materials and causing internal damage, but lack the penetration power of traditional firearms.
